Dublin's newest four-star 75-bedroom hotel, Brooks Hotel at Drury Street, Dublin 2, which was officially opened last week by the Taoiseach, has been achieving occupancy rates in excess of 70 per cent since it began trading last summer. The £7 million hotel was developed by Charlie Sinnott who also owns the Connemara Coast Hotel and the Connemara Gateway Hotel in Galway. Room rates begin at £110, with suites from £200.
